[[Image:Avitus.jpg|thumb|right|Devastator Sergeant Avitus]]
'''Avitus''' is a [[Devastator MarineSergeant]] Sergeant in the [[Blood Ravens]] 4th Company. He fought alongside Captain [[Davian Thule]] in the [[Dawn of War: Dark Crusade|Dark Crusade]], and distinguished himself during the assault on the [[Imperial Guard]] stronghold [[Kronus|Victory Bay]]. It was also in this battle that Avitus lost many of his squadmates, which forever changed Avitus and prompted his vision of [[Guardsmen]] as traitors and weaklings. He is renowned for his unmatched hatred for the enemy, which many regard as his greatest weapon.<sup>{{Fn|1</sup>}}
=== Aurelian Crusades ===During the [[First Aurelian Crusade]], Avitus's hatred spiked to new heights during the battle of Victory Bay on Kronus. Cracking the Guardsmens` defenses was a savage once again served alongside Captain Thule, and bloody affairlater Sergeant [[Aramus]], which cost the lives of two of Avitus's squadmatesin defending [[Subsector Aurelia]] from a [[Tyranid]] [[Hive Fleet]].{{Cite ThisFn|1}}
==Equipment==
Avitus wields a Astartes MK IVc-pattern [[Heavy Bolter]] in battle, which can be later upgraded to a [[Plasma Cannon]] or [[Missile Launcher]]. In Chaos Rising Avitus can wield Lascannons.<sup>2</sup>
==NotesCanon Ambiguities==In [[Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II - Retribution: Chaos Rising]] , one of the five primary supporting characters - Sergeants [[Tarkus]] states that the traitor was one he fought alongside with at Kronus, and that they became regular friends during the Tyranid Invasion on sub-sector Aurelia. NowAvitus, it is impossible for [[TarkusCyrus]], or [[CyrusThaddeus (Blood Ravens)|Thaddeus]], or [[MartellusLibrarian]], [[Jonah Orion]] , may turn out to be the traitorfeeding information to the Black Legion, as all are present in said gamedepending on the player's handling of the single-player campaign, fighting alongside Gabriel Angelos and Apollo Diomedesthe allocation of "corruption" among these characters. This leaves If these characters reach the crucial point in the campaign with equal levels of corruption, the traitor is identified as [[Techmarine]] [[Thaddeus (Blood Ravens)|ThaddeusMartellus]] and Avitus. But as far as we know, Thaddeus did not participate in the Kronus campaign, plus he is not part of the group if you start a new campaign in Chaos Rising without importing your previous save file from In [[Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II- Retribution]], as all commanders who died in Tarkus states that the traitor was one he fought alongside at Kronus, and that they became regular friends during the final mission of an imported save file areTyranid invasion. {{Fn|3}} This leads us "official" traitor is never named, but this description seems to concluding that narrow the possibilities to Cyrus, Avitus, Thaddeus, or Martellus, but of these four, only Avitus could have been definitely participated in the traitorKronus campaign.{{Fn|1}}
